“…The Lord shall be thy confidence…”. – Proverbs 3:26
Our happiness consists in knowing God and believing Him; if we know His true character, we can believe His precious word; and if we believe His holy word, we enjoy peace and sacred satisfaction.
He presents Himself in His word, as able and willing to make us holy, happy, and honourable.
To Him we may communicate all that troubles us, from Him we may receive all that our circumstances require, with Him we may walk and enjoy peace. We may be confident in God, for He has power, love, and faithfulness; He has spoken to us, will appear for us, and will never turn away from us; but will rejoice over us to do us good, with His whole heart and with His whole soul.
Let us make Him our confidence, by believing His word, frequenting His throne, and seeking His glory in all things. Are you troubled, fearful, and cast down? Acquaint now thyself with Him and be at peace, thereby shall good come unto thee. They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
Thou, Lord, on whom I still depend,
Wilt keep me faithful to the end:
I trust Thy truth, and love and power,
Shall save me to the latest hour;
And when I lay this body down,
Bestow a bright immortal crown. — James Smith
